I would say the rolls was pretty good! The noodles very very salty. But honestly be careful because they charged you 25(dinner) instead 15(lunch) at 2 pm, I asked but they said “no lunch” maybe because was Mother’s Day. Other thing the waitress very rude, no patience at all. Looks pretty dirty too. No too much option for vegetarians.

This is a hidden gem ! Great prices and delicious sushi. They have an all you can eat menu for lunch and dinner in addition to a regular menu. Staff is friendly and attentive. Parking is a struggle.

Great experience, delicious food, nice atmosphere!! Took my mom for mother's day n she really enjoyed the food and scenery! We will definitely be back soon ☺️

The food here is of really good quality and freshness. Pricing is fair considering the vast options that are available. The restaurant is clean and has a high end feel to it. Parking can be a bit of a challenge during busy times but this is to be expected at a place people like to eat! Staff is friendly, but wait times seem long when they are busy. I'd recommend and will definitely be going again!

First, the parking lot is only made for compact cars. Second, the scent you smell when you first walk in is horrible. Makes you want to turn around just because of that. Third, POOR, POOR, POOR customer service. We ended up leaving and going to Ikura in Mid-city. The food was the same price and very good. But, the customer service was 100% better. I will NOT be returning.

Excellent sushi… Love the small rolls and the big rolls!I just ordered to have sushi delivered and I always feel like they overdeliver and it’s amazing for the price.

We recently went to Akira for the lunch buffet. Everything was made to order and fresh. We enjoyed the process of filling out our order sheets one at a time. We order soups, a salad, sushi rolls, teriyaki, tempura, and ice cream. They also have a number of appetizers that we did not get to try. The limits were primarily time related, 1 1/2 hours between 11 AM and 3 PM. The buffet is highly recommended. They also have an hibachi room.

The parking lot is not very big and several spaces are compact only. So be mindful of parking. The staff helped quick to seat us and was nice. There was obvious language barriers, but that did not bother me. There is only two real options--sushi buffet (order at the table style) and hibachi. We did the sushi buffet. We also did the lunch (16 per plate plus 18% is added to the check/ 35 dollar ticket for two with water). There are paper menus on which you can mark your orders and laminated menus that help as a key to identify what's in the individual rolls that you order. There's also nigiri (a cut of sashimi on a bed of rice). I stuck mostly to the finger rolls and had one specialty roll. I preferred just eating the fish and rice without the drizzled sauce so I would probably only get the nigiri next time. If you like nigiri, the price is great for what you get because you can add soup, salad, ice-cream, and/or noodle entre items. The area was spacious and had a fish tank and nice aethetic. The fish was fresh, and i even saw them carrying 2 uncut fish fillets that were to be sized down to pieces that would be put in the sushi fridge at the bar. I would say that the bathroom needs some love. Some spray needs to be put in there or something. Both the male and female sides stunk bad and could be smelled from outside the door. The look of the restroom was not bad (same color tile on floor and wall and clean).This sushi buffet was a nice change from the way I usually experience sushi. You can't leave hungry (or it's your fault), and the quality does not significantly suffer because of the price. Come hungry and try the nigiri.

the food was great and the service was very pleasant

the food was delicious, but the service of the waitresses was not very professional.
